God’s Little Explorers Week 7

Theme: ”I” is for Insect

Bible Story: Moses (Through the 10 Plagues)

Bible Verse: “The Lord said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh and say to him ‘This is what the Lord says: Let my people go, so that they may worship me.” Exodus 8:1

Letter: I

Number: 2

Here are a few activities we did:

One of our favorite activities was learning about the 10 plagues from the Bible in a hands-on way. Here is what we did:

1) Water to blood: I put red powdered drink mix in the bottom of a dark container and had one daughter pour clean water into it.

2) Frogs: We just hopped around like frogs.

3) Gnats or Lice: The girls put various colored office dot “bites” all over them.

4) Flies: I sprinkled pepper on the girls hands and they “shooed” it away (it’s a stretch, but it was all I could think of)!

5) Diseased Livestock: We made our toy cows fall over like they were sick and/or dead.

hello I did this last yr with my boys and had plans to use some of the lessons this year to go with some b4fiar stuff…but a last minute move from ny to tn and a unexpected but exciting pregnancy not to mention the newfound mobility of my baby girl kind of..halted all homeschool plans. Particulary because I am feeling very sick. Anyway I discussed it with my husband and he suggested maybe just starting out with this again because its pretty easy to do with the kids, they like it and its all planned out. My oldest is only 4 so..hes technically not kindergarden age anyway. Anyway my question is how would you suggest starting since I didn’t start in september..I’m a little off season wise. Would love any suggestions

Hi, Nicole! It’s really up to you. You could do the first week as an introduction and then just jump in where we are–or you can just work through it at your pace. I don’t think it really matters unless you really wanted to have the lessons on Jesus’ birth fall at Christmas and the Resurrection lessons to fall around Easter.

I’m so sorry to hear you are not feeling well–that can be so difficult. Praying that you will have renewed strength!
